00:06Portugal's three group game in the 89th and 90th minute won the game so an early break in play
00:18Leao with the layoff Felix with the strike just signs that they're clicking into gear here
00:27Portugal Rafael Leao of Milan running at Coleman again he's got it through as well to Bruno Fernandes
00:35keepers out of his goal helped out by his this was brilliant from Leao
00:43Fernandes getting the better of the goalkeeper who was left on the floor but no one there to tuck it
00:47away
00:51got back in numbers look at that from Ireland
00:57oh that's beautifully through to Dalot square ball for Joel Felix good stop
01:05Kelleher with his boot
01:07Bruno Fernandes started it look at that incisive pass through to Dalot
01:18that was Cristiano Ronaldo with that ball Felix thinks he might have done enough there but the
01:24left boot of Kelleher denies him a goal went through the legs of Coleman
01:34Felix again this time he finds the bottom corner and Portugal lead with 18 minutes on the watch
01:48second top scorer for Barcelona this season nets his eighth international goal
01:57and there was nothing Kravine Kelleher could do about that
02:04just moments after he'd been denied by the Liverpool goalkeeper the first corner of the game does the trick for
02:12Portugal
02:20Ronaldo strikes it off the inside of the post via deflection
02:27Rafa Leao tried to get onto the rebound they're asking whether he was fouled but Ronaldo was a whisker away
02:38a terrific strike
02:39it was a long way out the wall was outside the penalty area
02:46that doesn't really matter when Cristiano Ronaldo's around
02:52Ireland escape
03:00128 goals 206 caps
03:04well they needed Antonio Silva to come to the rescue there
03:10Schmodix was in a terrific position after that ricochet
03:15Galo's on his way
03:18cut back for Ronaldo
03:20Bruno Fernandes
03:24well we saw him score from there a week ago against Finland with a precision strike
03:29this one is just the wrong side of the post
03:33as far as Portugal are concerned but what a pass initially
03:37from one Manchester United player to another
03:39Fernandes to Dalo
03:41Fernandes didn't hang around admiring it
03:44took up a great position just outside the penalty area
03:49and it kisses the outside netting
03:55stoppage back on the way now
03:58and that breaks kindly for Ida
04:01Smodix
04:02very good block by Inacio
04:07Ida perhaps a little selfless
04:20and then smashed into the side netting
04:23and then smashed into the side netting
04:39goleman just couldn't sort his feet out and then there's a bit of a wild lash of the ball in
04:44the end
04:44from Ademida
04:46from Ademida
04:47the second half of last season on loan from Norwich
04:50and since they qualified for the tournament
04:56it spells or they looked really impressive but not enough of them
05:00here's Rafa Leal
05:07well a chance that he fashioned for himself
05:1513 goals for Milan this season and 12 assists
05:23just four international goals so far for him
05:29Antonio Silva
05:37Srao Neves
05:42Bruno Fernandes joining him here
05:46Ronaldo is the target
05:48Robbie Brady
05:51with what looked like a push into that
05:53that's certainly what Ronaldo thought
05:56I mean there was some climbing there for sure
05:59was it enough for a foul
06:01that's the question
06:04I mean that is risky defending
06:07generous assessment
06:11Israel Felix
06:13I mean there was some climbing there for sure
06:17Fernando Fernandes
06:21great ball
06:24and Gonzalo Inacio misses the target
06:29big opportunity for the
06:31sporting centre-back here
06:34fantastic cross from Bruno Fernandes
06:44Pepe against Ida
06:46acrobatic
06:47for Pepe that was superb
06:50Portugal
06:54Bruno Fernandes
06:56Ronaldo
06:56straight to Kelleher
07:00oh they wanted a flag island
07:04and that's half time
07:07well the last kick of the half
07:09could so easily
07:10have doubled
07:12Portugal's lead
07:13two big chances in that half for
07:16Ronaldo
07:17his free kick
07:19deflected onto the post
07:21and then that strike
07:23right at the end of stoppage time
07:26straight at Quibin Kelleher
07:28the only goal
07:29coming from João Felix in the 18th minute
07:32from a corner kick
07:35Ronaldo thinks he should have had a penalty
07:37Portugal at times excellent
07:41Chanevez still has time to impress
07:43Rafael Leal also going off
07:46Ronaldo's in the middle there
07:48touched behind crucially by Jake O'Brien
07:52another great ball from Bruno Fernandes
07:54how many times do we see that in a game
08:02another one is a considerable physical presence
08:05here's Cristiano Ronaldo back on his left side
08:09what a blistering strike
08:13right foot left foot
08:15it matters not to Cristiano Ronaldo
08:19it was past Kelleher
08:21before he could even react
08:24it's 2-0 to Portugal
08:31his 129th international goal
08:37and it was a stunning effort
08:44what a glorious goal
08:47look at this pass from Ruben Neves
08:50who's just come on
08:53he was shown inside by Liam Scales
08:59and just blasted it
09:02right into the top corner
09:06no chance at all
09:09Ireland's sick of him after he netted twice
09:12oh and that's a good chance for
09:14Bruno Mendes
09:15I think he was offside
09:18no doubting the work rate
09:21oh danger here as Jota
09:23goes over on the edge of the box
09:27it's a foul by O'Brien
09:31it's interesting
09:32if that had been inside
09:33would that have been a penalty
09:36it's a yard or so outside
09:45nothing
09:51good burst forward by Diogo Jota
09:55and he's wriggled away
09:57and squared it for Ronaldo
10:00and he makes it 3
10:04Ireland got themselves into an awful mess there
10:09Diogo Jota was allowed to go on and on
10:13and once it fell to Cristiano Ronaldo
10:18there was never any doubt
10:20it's another brace for him against Ireland
10:24just like he did in 2021
10:29he's back with a bang
10:32after missing the Finland game
10:33after sitting on the bench unused against Croatia
10:39another precision finish
10:41from the Portugal captain
10:45and Ronaldo has netted 10 hat-tricks for Portugal
10:51he's on another one here
10:53but bursting through at the other end is Cannon
10:58first real involvement in the game
11:06the better of Danilo
11:07couldn't hit the target
11:12really good first touch
11:14it's excellent play
11:15excellent centre forward play
11:16just lost his footing
11:18at the crucial moment
11:28Ronaldo actually has 65
11:32scrambled away
11:34one back
11:35very very impressively
11:36Bruno Fernandes
11:38Nelson Cebedo
11:39blocked by O'Brien
11:46he had to score for his country
11:48Semedo
11:50this is his 30th cap
11:56really good interception there
11:58got short with most of them
12:03it's another attempt on target
12:05Bruno Fernandes
12:07Ronaldo to his right
12:09here he is
12:11Diogo Jota waiting
12:13spooned away by the backtracking scales
12:17a crucial member of the Portugal team
12:20there's a giveaway
12:21not a good idea
12:24straight to Ruben Neves
12:25Fernandes
12:26pushed away by Kelleher
12:32really got hold of that Bruno Fernandes
12:35but another poor giveaway from Ireland
12:40causing their own them
12:42causing their own problems
12:43causing their own problems
12:44that's a good save
12:44that's a good save
12:50viben Nevesину
12:53Diogo Jota, Danilo on the volley, good technique, Fernandes beautifully weighted, Semedo looking for Ronaldo,
13:10there! Just a goal kick, no offside, huge chance for the hat-trick, you'd back him there every time wouldn't
13:25you?
13:28He's just standing deliberately offside, then gets himself back onside crucially, Bruno Fernandes,
13:37beautifully done, and deflected wide, it opened up beautifully for the Manchester United man, wriggled away from Cullen,
13:52and again it's Jake O'Brien with the block, Mateus Nunes,
14:02he wanted it to defeat Fernandes, but there's the final whistle, victory for Portugal and an emphatic one,
14:10exactly what Roberto Martinez wanted heading into the European Championship finals,
14:15the disappointment against Croatia is forgotten.
